there's so much hate in this country.
folks who benefit the most from that hate truly love it when marginalized people target, marginalize, and hate each other.
48 million and 32 million are much stronger as 80 million 💪🏽
support each other as much as you can. listen; learn.

Whether it's Locus or something else, it's critical to support the mags you love in whatever ways you can! Financially, signal boosting, etc. Even talking up a publication at events/conventions can help! Of course: money is ALWAYS nice....
Do what's right for you to help the publications you love.

Today is the very LAST day to double your gift to Locus this year!
We are so, so close to meeting our match goal, help us get over the line!
Make a donation at bwc.io/locus2025 and it will be matched via our donors!

This is possibly the most brutal review I've ever read. I'm not one for negativity, but there is a point at which negativity becomes so incandescent for such good reason that it manages to uplift rather than depress. "Wow," you say, dazzled at the human capacity for righteous verbal violence.
